After Regensburg we continued towards the Czech Rep. and we had a quick read through the reading material we had whilst on the way. Unfortunately the only reading material material we possessed contained little information on Prague and the only information it provided for the C.R. was that Australian visitors required a visa. Well we didn't have one so we presumed (somewhat optimistically) that the C.R. had joined the EU since publication of this particular volume. We presumed correctly and cruised through yet another border gate without troubling our passports.
We had decided to make Berlin by the weekend so we only had 1 and 1/2 days in Prague. The first evening we ate and drank at our hostel - which, by the way we have decided was queer. It was called something inauspicious but their motto was 'for people like us' and the guys behing the front desk were wearing pink polo shirts. To cap it off, some of the TV's in the dining room were continuously playing 'GayTV'. BUT, the rooms were cheap, they had an indoor swimming pool, and there was an attached bar/restaurant with good pizza and cheap beer. Hence we ate and drank at our hostel the 2nd night as well.
We did, however, venture out into the city to check out the sights which included the impressive St. Vitus's Cathedral complex and the old bridge / town. On the Friday night we hit the town after dinner. It was pretty busy but we found a couple of nice places. One of which was advertising the opportunity to fire genuine AK47's, uzi's, pump action shotguns and high power rifles. Unfortunately we had to leave early the next morning.
So I found Prague a nice, old, cheap European city - worth spending longer in than we did. Sarah however found the locals decidedly unfriendly and dodgey (which is hard to argue with) and was unswayed by the beauty of the skyline.
Saturday morning we made extensive use of the free internet at our hostel then headed for Berlin!!
